Former professional baseball player David Ortiz, widely known as "Big Papi," has recently sold his lavish mansion in the Miami suburb of Pinecrest. The mansion sold at a staggering price, setting a new record for the area. According to One Sotheby's International Realty, the $10.55 million deal marks the highest residential sale ever recorded in Pinecrest.

Ortiz's five-bedroom, eight-bathroom home, located at 9505 Southwest 63rd Court, was acquired by an undisclosed buyer. The sale has yet to be officially registered. The sprawling estate spans an impressive 10,178 square feet and is situated on a one-acre non-waterfront plot.

The property was developed in 2019 after Ortiz and his now-ex-wife, Tiffany, purchased the land for $1.5 million in 2016, shortly after his retirement from MLB. They subsequently oversaw the custom construction of their dream home.

The sale was brokered by Michael Martinez of One Sotheby's, who represented David Ortiz. Dennis Carvajal, also from the same firm, who represented the buyer. Their expertise in luxury real estate ensured a successful transaction for both parties involved.
